I got my new Swears in the mail yesterday and went to Disneyland on Monday, and I am too fucking burnt to talk about it.
Harvey Fierstein has rocked my socks ever since I performed ‘Torch Song Trilogy’ in high school. Yes, I played the kvetching mother.
From the AP wire:
NEW YORK – New York’s annual Thanksgiving parade is famous for its giant balloon caricatures, but Mrs. Claus in drag may be drawing the second looks this year.
In lighthearted support of a recent Massachusetts high court ruling favoring gay marriage, Harvey Fierstein (news) — Broadway’s most famous drag queen — will dress as Mrs. Claus while riding downtown on a float.
Fierstein, star of the Broadway musical hit “Hairspray” and openly gay, wrote an op-ed piece in The New York Times Wednesday promoting his planned homage to Mrs. Claus.
The 49-year-old playwright-actor, who wasn’t immediately available for comment, wrote that “to the delight of millions of little children, the Santa in New York’s great parade will be half of a same-sex couple.”
“And guess who the other half will be?” he asked. “Me! Harvey Fierstein, nice Jewish boy from Bensonhurst, dressed in holiday finery portraying the one and only Mrs. Claus.”
Fierstein will appear as his “Hairspray” character, Edna Turnblad — but dressed as Mrs. Claus — on the Percy and the P-Birds float, a group of penguin puppets. In the musical, Turnblad is the protective mom of a plump Baltimore teen who yearns to be popular.
Macy’s issued a statement saying the parade “has never and will never be a platform for political and social issues and opinions.”
Department store spokeswoman Elina Kazan said the traditional Mrs. Claus will ride with Santa on his sleigh as part of the parade’s grand finale Thursday. She called Fierstein’s alternative version “Edna’s interpretation of Mrs. Claus.”
… and working myself into a state of moral outrage.
I know this time would be better spent answering the BPAL emails, but it’s a literal impossibility while I’m incarcerated in the theatre.
Is it just coincidence that offices were bugged and files seized, totally without charges, in two electorally important states?
If you need a briefing on where each presidential hopeful stands on issues that are important to you, this is an invaluable resource.
My Union [IATSE Local 857] is pushing for Dick Gephardt. I’m still not convinced.
I’d be stressed out, too, if I lived on death row.
Glad my family is having tofurkey for Thanksgiving.
LONDON, England (Reuters) — Britain’s farming union has released a chill-out album to help turkeys keep calm in the understandably stressful run-up to Christmas.
Geoff Hemus is one of 300 UK farmers who will be playing recordings of Gregorian chants, whale calls and rustling forests to his 3,500 birds.
“At first they seemed rather bemused and started gobbling more. They didn’t chill out, lie down and cross their legs. But then they got their confidence back,” he told Reuters.
Farmers have long believed drowning out the crash and bang of farmyard life is good for birds.
“If they are less stressed, they eat more and put on more pounds,” Hemus said.
His turkeys only have 2-1/2 weeks to relax before they have to face the music for Christmas.
When sunspot groups 486 and 488 last rotated across the sun in October, they hurled abnormally strong energy blasts at Earth, sparking auroras and forcing satellite operators to take protective measures. The sunspots have now returned, sparking magnetic loops on the sun’s left edge, which the SOHO satellite captured here in assorted ultraviolet wavelengths. And more space storms may be brewing.
The day the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court announced that under the state constitution gay and lesbians had the right to marry a person of their own gender, I was speaking with a Republican operative who is no fan of the president.
“This is what’s happening right now at the White House,” he said. “As soon as Karl Rove pops open the champagne, he picks up the phone and calls Ralph Reed”—the former Christian Coalition whiz kid who now heads the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign in the Southeast—”and says, ‘Ralph, make it happen.’ That’s all he has to say. Ralph knows what that means. He and the campaign have already ID’ed the congressional districts where people will be enraged by the prospect of gay marriage. They have lists of the churches, of the pastors, of the people in the pew. They have contacts with the Christian radio stations, with the newsletters. Whether Bush says much about gay marriage or not, there will be a full-force effort on this front. It won’t be visibly tied to the Bush campaign. The mainstream media might not be able to see it. But it will be there. And it might win the election for Bush. But, then, Bush might not even need this. Isn’t he the luckiest man in the world? It makes you wonder what the hell God is doing.”
Slowly but surely I’m getting through the backlog of mislaid emails. It’s been a very, very long November.
Doesn’t help that I’ve been sucked back into the subscription office against my will.
Can’t think. Coffee hasn’t kicked in yet, and I’ve already been up and working for three hours.

Being Filipino and anti-Bush, I feel obligated to share an editorial that I read this week:
Something unnatural is compelling me to buy this.
